A Thousand Words - The Meaning From Heima?
...............................
One of the most beautiful, chilling, and dark songs I have ever LOVED.
What do you feel when listening to this subtle masterpiece?
What do the words convey to you?
Sigur Rós - Heima (Álafoss)
English Translation
One thousand years in words
A thousand words which carve me to death
Without guts, we still get hurt
I need to get out
One thousand words in years
A thousand years which tell the whole story
No one sees, behind empty words
There's always something
The last tears shed
I wipe them off
The last years of a lifetime
The last years lived
The last rivers flow away
The wounds – yes, they heal
One thousand words in deaths
A thousand years, tears run down our cheeks
Gashes, which we suture together
and so move on
The last tears shed
Now I wipe them off
The last years of a lifetime
The last straws are drawn
The last rivers flow away
The wounds, they heal
The wounds, they heal
The last tears flow away
The wounds – yes, they heal
Yes, they heal
Yes, they heal
Now I'm finally home

It was a stupid and tedious joke, and an idle thought, I don't know why I bothered expressing it in the first place...
